St. Augustine, FL – A 27-year-old Palm Coast man has been sentenced to two life terms in the torture and murder of 54-year-old Edward Scott Mullener. The victim was tortured and beaten before he and his vehicle were set on fire in the Flagler Estates neighborhood. Justin Adam Boyles will spend the rest of his life in prison because Florida does not allow for parole.
Testimony during the trial showed that Boyles had become angry over the victim’s relationship with a woman Boyles was also involved with romantically. Boyles co-defendant, Charles Massey, testified against Boyles and admitted his role in the murder. Massey was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The victim was found in the trunk of his burned vehicle.
